When the Great Battle occurs, Constantinople shall be conquered at the hand of a man from Banu Hashim. The ruin of al-Andalus shall come from the wind; the ruin of Ifriqiyah shall come from al-Andalus; the ruin of Egypt shall be from the cessation of the Nile and the discord of armies within it; the ruin of Iraq shall be from hunger and the sword; the ruin of al-Kufah shall come from an enemy behind them who will besiege them such that they will not be able to drink a single drop from the Euphrates; the ruin of al-Basrah shall be from the direction of Iraq; the ruin of al-Ubullah shall come from an enemy who will besiege them, once by land and once by sea; the ruin of al-Rayy shall be at the hands of Daylam; the ruin of Khurasan shall be from Tibet; the ruin of Tibet shall be from China; the ruin of China shall be from India; the ruin of Yemen shall be from locusts and the ruler; the ruin of Mecca shall be at the hands of the Abyssinians; and the ruin of Medina shall be from hunger."
